Pairings from yesteryear: Dinner aboard the great liners (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(Oct. 1, 2026) I will confess I did not expect to find the information I sought online. When I idly set out to find what the great restaurants and ocean liners of a century ago actually served, I assumed I would be writing to a library and waiting a month for photocopies. Instead, I fell into a rabbit hole: tens of thousands of historical menus, scanned, searchable and free. The New York Public Library alone has digitized some 45,000 bills of fare dating back to the 1840s, including ocean-liner
Grenache: One grape, two nations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(Aug. 27, 2026) Grenache is our date-night wine. When Stacey and I want to talk to each other rather than analyze a bottle â when the point of the evening is simply the evening â this is the grape we reach for, and there is a reason. Grenache is generous where other great reds are austere. It smells of ripe strawberry and raspberry, of white pepper and warm Provençal herbs, and it drinks soft, round and welcoming, with sweet fruit, gentle tannin and just enough warmth to loosen the shoulder
America’s own: Wild, woolly and wonderful (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(Aug. 6, 2026) In 1983 I went on a student-chapter trip with the Club Managers Association of America down the west coast of Florida, and somewhere along the way the group sat down to a tasting of single-vineyard Fetzer Zinfandels. I should tell you where my head was at the time. I believed, with the unshakable confidence of a young man who knew nothing, that wine came in exactly three varieties: red, white and sparkling. Then the glasses came out, poured from the same grape, grown by the same f
One grape, two worlds, zero agreement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(July 30, 2026) Years ago, in Honolulu, I hosted a dinner built around Penfolds Grange: Australiaâs first growth, the wine Max Schubert dreamed up in the early 1950s after a trip to Bordeaux convinced him that South Australia could produce a red to rival the great cellars of Europe. He was right. It took the world a few decades to admit it, but he was right. For most of its existence, that wine carried a second word on the label, and that word tells you exactly where this week is headed. It wa
The King: Earned, not inherited (opens the original)
Read excerpt
(July 16, 2026) For close to 30 years â at every date-night dinner, in every restaurant from Nantucket to Napa to the back streets of Florence â Stacey has asked me the same two questions, in the same order, without variation or apology. The first is, âTell me how much you love me.â The second, delivered immediately after, while scanning the wine list with the focused intensity of someone who already knows what she wants, is, âWhat is the most in-depth, hearty red on this list?â I ha
